Don't adjust your stocking of the tank based on your feeding, feed based on your livestock. You should only feed what can be completely consumed in 2 to 5 minutes. If there's food left over you're simply putting too much in.

Animals from tropical regions need 12 hours of light year round.

Imagine this, the first time I saw a now-famous band was 1971. That was the James Gang, AKA Joe Walsh, which was at a 5oo person capacity teen club called Hellabalu. I grew up in Cleveland and everyone always played here. I went to at least 12 stadium concerts with 5-7 bands apiece, at least 8...

Heres a great idea for our safety, what if the government made everyone get a national id card with a chip in it that could be tracked by satellite. The government is saying only a few feet but the manufacturers are bragging about the satellite capabilities. They could give contracts to private...

In over 40 years of fish keeping, I have only known 1 person to keep one alive for more than a year.(outside of zoos and public aquariums). I worked 7 years at a large distributor so everyone I know to have tried to keep one were fish store owners. For every 1 that makes it to the store, over...

The fewer number of times a fish is acclimated the better. If they are willing to still give you the warranty I'd do it. Make sure you get them home right away, open the bag asap, and do not put any water at all from the bag into your tank. For people who may read this and don't live in a warm...

Yeah, copper test kits.

Here's a little retail secret the Walmart disguises and pure hometown friendliness; do you know what the main purpose of the Walmart greeter is? Theft prevention! People who have been spoken to by a store employee are 10 times less likely to steal. It goes even higher if the employee is older...

Do you set the cycle to where they're from or where you live? Is there a difference? I know sunlight hours and intensity is widely varied but I don't know if it's the same idea for moonlight. Any astrologers out there?

Use a hang on that has filter material blocks you could keep in your DT's filter (in the sump or whatever) then you can use that pre-cycled material when you run the Qt. PS, don't forget, chemical filtration such as charcoal will remove medications. I would use a Hagen Aquaclear 30, $25.

I like cultured live rock, I prefer not to be involved with destroying the worlds reefs just to decorate my house.

BTW, I wouldn't worry about poison destroying the reef if you're buying live rock that isn't cultured, there wont be anywhere left for the reef inhabitants to live anyway.

Buy fish from Hawaii or Australia, they are never blast or chemically caught. You want look for the following terms; tank bred, reared, or raised, aquacultured, or, sustainably harvested. Most places that carry such things will proudly and predominately display that fact. If they don't, ask the...

Hmmm, they showed them on the news and guess what? Yep, people rushed down to that store and bought them.

Yep, just do your changes via the vacuum.

Supply and demand. Online sales may drop off in the cold months due to shipping concerns. LFS sales have always been higher in the winter.

"I was also thinking that, perhaps it’s possible to have a tank with rock work arranged somehow, perhaps a hidden barrier" This will eliminate the minimum 6' continuous swimming room which the queen would need. Just get a juvenile and put them in last. They aren't so aggressive that unusual...

You will gain his respect by asking.

Although testing negative for copper doesn't necessarily mean there's none, it definitely doesn't mean there is. Why have you concluded your tank was treated with copper?
